About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 2 284 · spoilt 14 · special votes 42 · All 4 voting districts in (the IEC's voting-district results so far, out of its list of voting districts for this election)

PR ballot figures for this ward are the sum of the IEC's results for its 4 voting districts; the IEC publishes the ward ballot per ward and the PR ballot per voting district.

Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 4 voting districts here (2 522 of 4 663). The IEC publishes 54.2%.

The winner's share of registered voters is calculated: the winner's votes on the IEC's ward ballot ÷ the registered voters of the ward's voting districts.

Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 24 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): The Independents 642 vs 2 171; ANC 492 vs 1 491; DA 443 vs 1 198; SACP 230 vs 651; EFF 173 vs 507; ATM 74 vs 230; ActionSA 60 vs 282; KPA 52 vs 98; AIC 23 vs 60; MKP 22 vs 65; PA 18 vs 42; PAC 11 vs 18; AMC.ROY. 10 vs 16; MAYIBUYE 9 vs 18; LABOUR 5 vs 9; ALJAMA 3 vs 4; OHM 3 vs 4; ACDP 0 vs 3; ACT 0 vs 136; APF 0 vs 3; HCDF 0 vs 1; IFP 0 vs 2; ILISO 0 vs 8; VF PLUS 0 vs 14. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 75 times in 4 voting districts. In local elections the IEC also publishes each party's total across the ward, PR and DC 40% ballots. For these parties (by IEC party number) that total differs from the party's votes on the ballots themselves. We show each ballot's own votes. Each voting district's own page lists the IEC's figures.

Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.

The DC 40% ? ballot is published per municipality: Enoch Mgijima's DC 40% result.

Map boundaries: Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) and the IEC.
